We appreciate the time of the Cobb County Superior Court in a hearing about the lawsuit filed against the North Georgia Conference. The Conference is exploring our opportunity to appeal.
While details of the order are yet to come, once they are received, the Conference Board of Trustees in conversation with Bishop Dease and the Cabinet will communicate plans and timelines. Leaders of the Conference remain committed to handling this matter in a fair, transparent, uniform, and good faith manner.
Most importantly, our focus continues to be on the mission of The United Methodist Church to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. That is unchanging.
We will update the North Georgia Conference in the days to come.
